Suddenly, my hunting season has come to a halt...well for deer and such as I can put in the freezer anyway. Along with that has come an arctic front that is pushing temps into the ten degree range over night, and yup, that white cold stuff is on the ground as well.
This reality has made me ponder what I am going to do to entertain myself indoors this winter?
I found a new double cavity .44 cal swc mould I forgot that I got last year, and I have a young lady interested in casting some bullets for her .357, so it would seem that the lead pot should see some heat one of these days.
There is quite a bit of meat in the freezer that needs to be ground and made into burger and sausage. There are some trout that need to be smoked, and a beef brisket to turn into pastrami also.
Then there is the annual maintenance to do on the hunting rifles. Ice fishing will be in the future, and I always look forward to eating and getting fat(ter) over the winter...
So what kind of activities will my brethren be occupying themselves with after the rifles and hand cannons are set aside this season?? (If anyone is fishing the Bahamas, feel free to keep that to yourself!)
